It is what it is darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM
Partially it's an effect of the end of any series of books. Even if RJ had lived to complete his series we would likely be bitching. There will always be fans who don't like the outcome the author has written. Cannoli will spend the next 20 years bitching about Egwene no matter what she does in AMOL ... He hates the character and will find new and inventive ways to vilify her ... Doesn't matter who wrote her last words in the series. I'll never like Cadsuane or be happy that Moiraine came back from the 'Finns so weak in the Power. I hate that Egwene is with Gawyn, or that Min can't channel and will die hundreds of years before Rand, Avi and Elayne ... Many people wanted Verin to live or Galina to die or Siuan and Leane to be Healed to full strength. The list is endless and we all have our things ... Sanderson just gets the double dose because he's not the original author!

If you have to call someone "my friend" three times in a couple of minutes, he isn't. Cannoli - 28/09/2012 11:59:13 AM 5755 Views
John McCain has a similar proclivity. *NM* RandAllThor - 28/09/2012 12:26:29 PM 1148 Views
The only people I've ever heard say "my friend" are foreign street vendors Marshall - 28/09/2012 01:19:00 PM 1094 Views
Potential customer = best kind of friend *NM* Artsapat - 28/09/2012 02:20:29 PM 629 Views
I agree in this particular instance. Nate - 28/09/2012 03:38:15 PM 1413 Views
Maybe they have been Quakers all along? *NM* dadof5 - 28/09/2012 03:39:24 PM 776 Views
Sanderson's handling of character interractions is pathetic.... DomA - 28/09/2012 06:43:48 PM 1281 Views
Now see, here I don't fully agree, or at least think it's a matter of taste. Nate - 28/09/2012 07:21:09 PM 1962 Views
Sorry, that's just not true... fionwe1987 - 28/09/2012 11:33:59 PM 1141 Views
A few things. Nate - 29/09/2012 02:40:47 AM 1377 Views
Great rebuttal! Fionwe got burned! *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:00:41 PM 840 Views

Yes! fionwe1987 - 29/09/2012 02:26:39 AM 1294 Views
This is one of my biggest pet peeves as well Deadsy - 29/09/2012 04:56:53 AM 1270 Views
There are people who say that? Nate - 29/09/2012 05:16:58 AM 1134 Views
I complained about this regarding the Forsaken chapter Sidious - 28/09/2012 07:34:25 PM 1394 Views
I've long since accepted that Sanderson uses inaccurate terms like "powerful" darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:44:11 AM 1395 Views
To be fair, the last Moghedian PoV by RJ might have changed her a bit. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:27:31 PM 1118 Views
Which is the question I brought up in another thread darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:29:01 PM 1020 Views
Yes. The last time it happened to me it ended with the taxi driver fined by the NYPD. Tom - 29/09/2012 07:05:26 AM 1106 Views
The burning question to me, after reading all of the comments above, is this... Shannow - 29/09/2012 08:50:50 AM 1331 Views
Piggybacking on someone else's established characters and near-climax-point plot? Cannoli - 29/09/2012 03:04:03 PM 1371 Views
Both of you disgust me Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:13:16 PM 1299 Views
This is not jealousy, it's being upset Marshall - 29/09/2012 07:52:51 PM 1176 Views
They could have hired a ghost writer. They chose not to. *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:34:27 PM 9831 Views
Your crappy taste in books means nothing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:23:51 PM 1687 Views
When did I ever say Eli Manning wasn't a good QB? Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 03:40:21 PM 1081 Views
To be fair... Sidious - 29/09/2012 04:36:52 PM 1178 Views
True ... He may not be perfect, and he certainly made some strange choices darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 05:37:29 PM 974 Views
B-Sand is not a ghost writer Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 06:35:16 PM 2448 Views
Didn't say he should. darius_sedai - 29/09/2012 09:07:45 PM 1746 Views
I mostly agree with this. Nate - 29/09/2012 09:36:38 PM 1357 Views
What is it you want? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 09:39:36 PM 1335 Views
We want to bitch about an inferior product. Duh. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 10:00:09 PM 1527 Views
Hmm that's true I guess. Sad though *NM* Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 10:07:25 PM 540 Views
It is what it is darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 12:52:20 AM 898 Views
Those are not remotely the same thing Cannoli - 30/09/2012 09:14:49 PM 1169 Views
But they are the same in this instance darius_sedai - 30/09/2012 10:01:59 PM 1080 Views
You do know this isn't his series, right? Dark Knight - 29/09/2012 04:19:00 PM 1619 Views
Do you see us going to Mistborn boards to rip his series? Part of the problem is what you say. Cannoli - 29/09/2012 09:57:54 PM 2001 Views
Apologies for not being clear: I'm only referring to WoT. Haven't read any of his other work... Shannow - 30/09/2012 06:56:08 PM 1346 Views
I'd agree that I like his original works more than his WoT books beetnemesis - 01/10/2012 06:17:33 PM 1229 Views
It's fairly simple.... DomA - 30/09/2012 09:55:52 PM 1332 Views
Thanks for that insightful response... Shannow - 30/09/2012 10:37:27 PM 1057 Views
Try reading something instead of judging. I recommend the Mistborn trilogy *NM* Dark Knight - 01/10/2012 01:14:24 AM 512 Views
Forgotten Realms is big on clever spells and magic systems? Fanatic-Templar - 01/10/2012 05:27:05 AM 1013 Views
It's more... DomA - 01/10/2012 01:05:18 PM 1773 Views
Did you read Way of Kings? VTHokie - 03/10/2012 09:14:43 PM 1287 Views
No, nothing but the prologue DomA - 04/10/2012 02:56:14 AM 1027 Views

I have an acquaintance who uses "my friend" as punctuation of every sentence. Kaldric - 05/10/2012 02:47:40 PM 1621 Views
